GUARENAS, VENEZUELA - NOVEMBER 14, 2016: Men pass the time resting in a jail cell in the outskirts of Caracas.  The majority in this cell were arrested for stealing, and had held regular jobs their entire lives, but turned to crime once the economic crisis sharply devalued their salaries, and they could not afford to support their families anymore.  Conditions in Venezuelan jails are inhumane. Those detained have to rely on family members to bring them food and water and personal items, but most come from working class families that are struggling to eat because of the economic crisis and skyrocketing food prices in Venezulea - that most cannot spare food to bring to their family members, or pay the bus fare to bring it to them.  The men said they are always hungry. They showed signs of being undernourished, and claimed to have lost dozens of pounds each since being detained.  The jails are overcrowded and the justice system is over capacity for processing cases, causing men in local jails to wait several months, and some several years, before having their case processed.
